“I really don't know if I would've been able to crawl out of the darkness that I was in,' says the rocker, who got sober in 2017. Her band's latest, Always Tomorrow, is the first body of work where she feels like herself again.
To the outside world, Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino seemed to have everything under control. It was 2015 and her group had just released the single “Feeling Ok,” off their album. Yet the track was a facade. Cosentino wasn’t okay, she just wanted it to seem like she was., I feel like I bulls—t my way through that,” says Consentino, who decided to get sober in late 2017. For her, much of the 2010s had been a blur. “People keep asking me like, ‘What are your top moments of the decade?’” she says.
Formed in 2009 by Cosentino and multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno, Best Coast quickly rose to indie-rock stardom following the release of their 2010 debutwhich was largely about romance, smoking weed, feeling lazy, and Cosentino’s cat Snacks. But as they became more established, Cosentino found herself grappling with the group’s intense rise. “I felt like I just needed a moment to rest and reset because in all honesty — like sincecame out — I’ve just been f—ing going,” says Cosentino.
“I was just really, really dark and depressed and I didn’t know how to get myself out of it,” she says, a sharp departure from the carefree persona she displayed online. Cosentino would tell herself to go for a run and then try to make music, but it always fell apart. “I would literally write two chords and hum a melody for five minutes, and then I’d be like, ‘This sucks, you are the worst. You’ve lost it.
Before she found sobriety, Cosentino penned the aspirational track “Everything Has Changed.” It was about the life she wanted to be living. The single proved to be prophetic, as she willed her current moment into existence . It was also the first straightforward rock song she had ever written, a telling sonic ethos ofIf anything the album is as much a new beginning for Cosentino as it is for Best Coast. Cosentino and Bruno wanted audiences to see that they had changed in a lot of ways.
Across 12 tracks, Cosentino explores not only the relationship she has with herself, but the one she’s had with her fans. On “Wreckage,” she tackles the weight of fame. “I used to feel like I was held on this weird pedestal, and now I feel like I’m finally okay with being like, F—k the pedestal. F—k what you expect of me,’” she says. “I need to just be myself.
